THIRK Thursday

THIRK Thursdays are things-that-irk-me Thursdays.  There's a different little annoyance or pet peeve each Thursday. 

Today there are two for the price of one, and both usually occur at the table. 

I absolutely cannot stand it when someone talks with a mouth full of food - or even with a little bit of food in the mouth.  It's gross and it's terribly impolite.  Of course, there's an exception: if there's a fire, go ahead and yell, "Fire!"  Otherwise, don't talk with food in the mouth.

The second one is smacking.  That's a little annoyance as well. 

I read about a company executive who always took promising job applicants to lunch.  He made his final hiring decisions based on table manners.  He probably didn't like these two habits either.

Do these bother you?

I've got a long list of things that irk me, but I'll try to limit to one each Thursday.  Today's behavior is that of people who drive in the left lane when they are not passing other vehicles, thereby creating a traffic jam.
